Several studies have indicated that the heavy-metal content in tea is increasing gradually.
Researchers examining the soil of more than 100 tea gardens in China have observed that …

Heavy metal contamination in soils poses a serious threat to microorganisms, which play
important roles in soil biogeochemical process. However, the key fractions of heavy metals …

Soil provides a critical environment for microbial community development. However,
microorganisms may be sensitive to substances such as heavy metals (HMs), which are …

In this study, the effects of pollution levels and heavy metal pollution on soil microbial
diversity in karst tea plantations are reported. Four tea plantations from plateau hills, under …

The soil ecosystem is easily polluted by heavy metals. Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), as the
main pollutants of heavy metals, cause much harm to the soil ecosystem. However, the …

Secondary lead smelting is a widespread industrial activity which has exacerbated Pb or Cd
contamination of soil and water across the world. Soil physicochemical properties, soil …

Heavy metal pollution has become a widespread environmental problem due to rapid
economic development. The phylogenetic diversity and structure of microbial communities in …

The rapid development of industry has led to increasingly severe soil pollution by toxic
metals, attracting growing public concern. Microbes play a vital role in the biogeochemical …

Due to the persistence of metals in the ecosystem and their threat to all living organisms,
effects of heavy metal on soil microbial communities were widely studied. However, little was …

High‐throughput 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA sequencing were performed to study the
changes of soil microbial diversity and community structure under different heavy metal …
